Spotty Hot Water for Our Room
Great place to enjoy with the grandkids over spring break. Everyone had lots of fun and will come back. However, there was a hot water problem in our room. It took a long time to get hot water, it was not very hot and it kept going hot and cold. Would expect to be able to take a hot shower but this was not the case.

This lodge is not different than the location in Wisconsin Dells that I visited years ago. The extremely high prices for rooms, miserable food for a very high price. We've notice people bringing food from outside resort. The resort double charge me for the room, we booked the reservation with expedia and paid with expedia, but the hotel decided that it's ok to be charged again. You have to pay for parking like over 15$/night. So if you get $200/night room it will cost over $600 after tax this tax that resort fees, reservation fees. It's disgusting. One short sentence, we will never return here ever, There are other reasons other than what I just mentioned, it will not be appropriate for me to discuss here.

Not going there again
We were not informed how to play any of the games. No map of the water park area. Needed a wheelchair to get around. Had to pay for anything you wanted to do. We did not order breakfast as they were $21.00plus for any age person. My grand-daughter is only 4 and eats about 1/2 cup of food per meal and her drink. Our grandson is 6 and could not possibly eat $21.00 of food! We brought breakfast foods with us and then went to a restaurant in town for suppers. The kids loved the Wave Pool!! And, the Lazy River. The only thing free was a pair of Wolf Ears!

Great fun for the whole family
Booked a non smoking deluxe family suite. Checked in and the room smelled of smoke. Told front dest, and we were DOWNGRADED to a family suite, without being given a discount. In the midle if the night, i had a diabetic blood sugar crash, and went to the vending machines to get something to eat. The machines wernt working. Stopped at the front dest to ask if I was doing something wrong. She said no, the machine dont always work and have a mind if their own. No good for a diabetic. Other than that everythi g was excellent. We enjoyed our stay very much.

We came here last year with our grandkids as a water park is always a hit. We knew everything was expensive and we expected just the basic stay to be high. Prepaying on Expedia months in advance, we went there thinking no more "must pay" fees. But when we came up to be checked in, we were told that there was a new $15 a night parking fee policy that just went into affect at the beginning of the month. They not only charged us once but tried to charge us a second $15 charge. Terrible business policy when your already paying several hundred dollars a night and the parking lots half full.
